For at least a dozen years in a row, I made sure to bet the Dodgers would win the World Series. If I didn't place the bet in Las Vegas myself, I would ask someone who was going to Vegas to lay down a bet for me. It was almost

The Dodgers returned from their road trip at 3:30 a.m. this morning, so they could be excused for starting tonight's game a little flat, and that's exactly what happened to at least one Dodger, Brandon McCarthy. He wasn't just flat, he was downright supine. The Atlanta Braves hit everything McCarthy

If this keeps up, the Dodgers are going to start receiving a bulk discount on brooms. The Dodgers steamrolled the White Sox tonight, making this their fourth series sweep in a row, with two sweeps before and two after the All-Star break. The Dodgers almost always win when they score first,

Did you hear the news today? Oh, boy. And I mean...OH, BOY!!!!! It was reported the Dodgers have been shopping the naming rights to their field. Watch the video and get my take on this blasphemy. And..a beer review from Devil's Canyon Brewing, California Sunshine Rye IPA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzIO2avyr4k

After last night's dramatic come from behind, ninth inning win, I suspect more than a few Dodger fans would have appreciated a plain ol' fashion steamrolling, right from the get go. With 10-0 Alex Wood taking to the mound, that looked like a pretty good bet. The start of the game

"What a team! What a team!" That was the rallying cry often heard from Kirk Gibson during the Dodgers' last trek to the top of baseball's highest peak, the World Series. It rang true then, and just under thirty years later, those words ring just as true for this squad

It's really happening. Go ahead and let yourself believe - just like the hopeless optimists believe every season - this could be the year. The Dodgers are putting together something special, and it feels wonderful. Tonight the Dodgers sent the resurrected one, Rich Hill, to the mound with orders to complete

About three weeks ago I wrote an article declaring I would start Alex Wood over Clayton Kershaw in a game for all the marbles. Although Kershaw has improved his standing with me, namely by stopping his trend of giving up way too many homers, Mr. Wood has done nothing that

The good news is four Los Angeles Dodgers were named to the 2017 All-Star squad. The bad news is none of them will be starters. The worse news is Kenley Jansen decided Dodger fans were to blame for that. Jansen, Clayton Kershaw, Cody Bellinger, and Corey Seager were named all-stars, but Bellinger

Maybe you saw the tweet last night from Angels post game radio host, Trent Rush. It was a doozy. Mr. Rush, like many of us, watched as the traveling Dodgers fan group, Pantone 294, unfurled their trademark giant "LA" flag in Anaheim's outfield bleachers during last night's contest between the Dodgers

Game Three of this four game series against the Angels turned out to be a rubber match. Who woulda thunk it? Each team won a 4-0 shut out and the scene cut to Anaheim. Angels starter Alex Meyer walked five in the first three innings, but the Dodgers just couldn't come

You never know what you're going to get when the Dodgers play the Angels. Much like the Padres and the Giants, it doesn't matter if they are floundering in last place with the worst players, they will somehow rise above and give the Dodgers a run for their money. That's

Before this series began, the Colorado Rockies young pitching staff was showing cracks, but they probably felt pretty good about themselves and their chances against the Dodgers. This early June series however, is serving notice to Colorado that climbing the mountain to the pennant is a long, tough road. And

There are almost as many ways to watch our favorite team as there are fans. Some of us catch the game at the local sportsbar, some on the widescreen at home with family and friends. Some of us watch on our phones while at work, while others are forced to
